Subject: Only send SIGXFSZ when exceeding rlimits.
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.23-rc1~924
X-Git-Url: http://pilppa.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=17973f5af741f1758ed57c5115ca394c22bee159;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git

Only send SIGXFSZ when exceeding rlimits.

Some users have been having problems with utilities like cp or dd dumping
core when they try to copy a file that's too large for the destination
filesystem (typically, > 4gb).  Apparently, some defunct standards required
SIGXFSZ to be sent in such circumstances, but SUS only requires/allows it
for when a written file exceeds the process's resource limits.  I'd like to
limit SIGXFSZs to the bare minimum required by SUS.
